Tears drip on the parchment, blotting the words.
Again and again it is thrown away.
Letters form on the page like graceful birds.
It is hard to find the right words to say.1
Unforgotten wounds rise to the surface,
Breaking through a tempest of sharp writing.
Blood boils hot, trying to quicken the pace.
There is no way to dull the harsh biting.2
A message is sealed in an envelope,
Never to see the outside world again.
Trapped in company of deserted hope,
And hurled out to drown in puddles of rain.3
Its usefulness has passed, and now, is done.
It becomes forgotten and read by none.
